    We paid for a deluxe room but the shower/ bath mixer had no cold water,so we had to wash in the sink or be scolded,as I am slightly disabled. I reported it to the reception as we were going out . Subsequently the next morning, we had another sink wash, as obviously we couldn't take the chance of getting scolded again,when we were checking out,the reception informed us that they had it fixed when we were out,but never told us. I asked for a refund on our room because of this and the duty manager offered me a 50 euro refund,which I'm still waiting for. Also, I have a blue badge disabled sticker on my car and for convenience I parked in one of the two disabled parking bays in front of reception. On arriving back on Saturday evening,there were two cars without disabled parking permits parked there ,so I parked just in front as I was only stopping to pick up some rain gear. The receptionist came out from her desk and in front of all the people sitting in the lobby, asked me not to park there as there was a bus due in,and could I park on the 2nd storey of their carpark which was free for guests. I had no problem with this request as such, as I was illegally parking in the bus parking bay ,except in the manner it was fine and also that the cars illegally parked in the disabled bay weren't moved, warned with notes on their windshield or clamped. Bar is very boring. It didn't spoil a great weekend in Castlebar or Mayo

    Location, breakfast,and service staff were all excellent

    Everything was a 100%, so no dislikes whatsoever.

    From the time of my arrival to the time of my departure the staff were excellent. I had both breakfast and diner and the quality of the food and service was brilliant.

    The room was very clean, the bed comfortable, but it lacked in the special touch, e.g. picture on the wall. The handles of the wardrobes were poor.

    Central situation, cleanliness, friendliness of staff.

    There wasn't a pub / bar as such, there was just a restaurant which was booked out on the night we arrived, so I would recommend booking in advance if you want to eat there. But there is no where really to sit down and have a drink or have bar food.

    The hotel is very close to the center. Rooms were modern and comfortables. Staff were lovely and breakfast was very good. We went to a show in the TF Royal, Castlebar Events Theatre and it was a two minute walk to it from the hotel which was great. There was also a carpark which was great.
